14 I write not these thynges to shame you, but as my beloued sonnes I warne you. 15 For though ye haue ten thousande instructours in Christ, yet haue ye not many fathers: For in Christe Iesu I haue begotten you through the Gospell. 16 Wherfore, I desire you, be ye folowers of me. 17 For this cause haue I sent vnto you Timotheus, whiche is my beloued sonne, & faythfull in the Lorde, which shall put you in remembraunce of my wayes which be in Christe, as I teache euery where in all Churches. 18 Some swel as though I would come no more at you: 19 But I wyll come to you shortly, if the Lorde wyll, & wyll knowe, not the wordes of the which swell, but the power. 20 For the kyngdome of God is not in worde, but in power. 21 What wyl ye? Shal I come vnto you with a rodde, or in loue and in the spirite of mekenesse? 1 Corinthians 4:14-21, Bishops' Bible of 1568. Public domain.
